1
Now look here don't be singin' that pretty music for me
2
I've learned my lesson and I ain't ready to go yet
3
Let me tell you all about it
4
I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven
5
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
6
And there I stood, and I hollered, "Someone fade me"
7
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
8
For the people all said
9
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat"
10
And the people all said
11
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat"
12
"And the devil will drag you under
13
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
14
Sit down, sit down
15
Sit down you're rocking the boat"
16
Now I sailed away on that little boat to Heaven
17
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
18
And there I stood nicely passin' out the whiskey
19
But the passengers were bound to resist
20
For the people all said
21
"Beware, you are on a heavenly trip"
22
People all said
23
"Beware, beware you'll scuttle the ship"
24
"And the devil will drag you under
25
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
26
Sit down, sit down
27
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"
28
Now as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
29
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
30
And as I sank, and I hollered, "Someone save me"
31
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord
32
And I said to myself
33
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat"
34
I said to myself
35
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat"
36
"And the devil will drag you under
37
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
38
Sit down, sit down
39
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"
40
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
41
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
42
And I ain't gonna rock it no more
